Commemoratives to criminals who were hunted down and executed. Yes, lots of them.

Pics or it didn't happen. Yar!
I'll get to it shortly. I'm currently photographing the serial killer halves.

@moursund "Are there any US coins with a pirate theme?"
Shouldn't that be..... Rrrr there any US coins with a pirate theme?
Not exactly a US coin, but a pretty cool 2 oz silver round:
The police photographs of the serial killer halves are undoubtedly gruesome
The ideal pirate coin would have an Obverse and an Arrrrrverse!
If sarcasm is dead, where do you bury it?

Does Krispy Kreme still have their Pirate promotion for this special day?
Arrrrrrrr- I just found my answer:
As recently as 2016, Krispy Kreme had offered a free Original Glazed Doughnut for talking like a pirate. If you took this concept to the next level and dressed like a pirate, you would get a DOZEN free Original Glazed Doughnuts! In 2017, the event was cancelled, much to the dismay of donut-loving pirate talkers everywhere.
All good things have to come to an end, I guess. Still, I can’t help but to feel disappointed. Krispy Kreme’s Talk Like a Pirate Day promotion was one that I always looked forward to. Not just because of the free food, but also because of the fun. Who doesn’t like to dress up like a pirate and express a heartfelt “Arrrgh!” to the world? Perhaps Krispy Kreme will bring it back for 2022. Let’s hope so!
Enough already with the pirates favorite letter, “Arrrrr”.
1. What is the favorite breakfast place of pirates? ……………………………..……Ihop!
2. I spoke to a pirate that had a smoking problem. He told me he was “hooked”, and he even tried the “Patch” without success!

Being an old Navy guy, I always had an interest in the sea going bad guys... Never collected pirate tokens though.. did not know of any. Cheers, RickO
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"Arrh – Not at ‘tall." the pirate replies, "I be fine." The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Arrh!," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit me leg. But the surgeon fixed me up, and I be fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Aye," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and me hand was cut off. But the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I be feeling great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Arrh," says the pirate, "One day when I was swabbing me deck, some gulls were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them--arrgh, he, pooped--in me eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from that!"
"Well," says the pirate, "'Twas me first day with me hook.”
Good thing he didn't have crabs.

No pirates but a couple of ship tokens.

That's what they did to you when you forgot to talk like a pirate.

search "privateer" on ebay. I think you will find one. 2 ounce silver rounds
edited to add...... looks like they are a little pricey compared to spot silver, I would wait for them to follow silver down
Pricey? It's practically piracy!
I would like to buy one like this do you have any links?

Pirate walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender looks up and says “Where in the hell did you get that?”
The parrot answers, “At the shipyard”.
